Today, Gardner Grove Baptist Church pauses to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. We thank God for their courage, their sacrifice, and the freedoms we are blessed to enjoy because of them.

As we remember, we also pray for the families who carry their legacy in their hearts every day.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

May this day remind us to live with gratitude, serve with compassion, and walk in God’s peace.

Today, we rejoice in the power, promise, and victory of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ.
Because He lives, we have hope. Because He rose, we have new life. Because He reigns, we can walk in faith, purpose, and joy.

“He is not here, for He is risen.” — Matthew 28:6
